During Ph.D. at I. I. T. Bombay: MEAN FIELD APPROACHES TO THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF MAGNETIC SYSTEMS Studied the magnetization of complex systems (Garnets) using a mean field approach. The magnetization functions are obtained by solving computationally a set of nonlinear transcendental equations. These programmes were implemented in C and FORTRAN 2. QUANTUM ANTIFERROMAGNETS In this project we have studied Quantum Antiferromagnets using DMRG method. This technique involved very large-scale computational methods in Linear Algebra. The work involved solving a large set of simultaneous equations and Matrix diagonalization of very large sparse matrices (of the order of 10^6). The programmes were implemented in C on HP-K9000 multicpu server at I. I. T. Guwahati. 3. LOW DIMENSIONAL MAGNETIC SYSTEMS We have studied a partially frustrated S = 1/2 spin system that extrapolates between a square lattice characterized by the long range Neel order and a triangular lattice showing the long range spiral ordered phase. The lattice is a spatially anisotropic triangular lattice in which one of the bonds is of a different strength from the other two.

6 These models describe the magnetic properties of layered organic superconductors. We have used exact diagonalization techniques. We have calculated the sublattice magnetization and susceptibility for the region with Neel order, spiral order and the region in between. We are studying the region in between the two ordered phases for the possible existence of a disordered phase. The number of eigenstates increases as 2N with. Even for very small values of N, there is no stable method to calculate directly all the eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian. The problems to be handled are memory space requirement, computer time and degeneracy of states. These problems have been reduced by an intensive use of space and spin symmetries. We have used the Lanczos method to diagonalise the Hamiltonian in the subspace associated with each IR. We have succeeded in studying systems upto N = 30. This work was done under Department of Science and Technology (India) project in the Young Scientist Scheme. Current Research Development of Metadata based Information Processing Middleware for Wireless Sensor Networks The proposed research aims at: Developing an information processing middleware to utilize metadata information for homogeneous WSN with long running periodic queries. Enhance the middleware by incorporating efficient query planning for event triggered queries. Optimize the middleware functionality incorporating energy efficiency. Generalize the middleware for heterogeneous nodes with multiple operating systems Current Software Development Security gate software: This will include the data collection and analysis of students and visitors VGH room booking: This will include reserving, bookings, billing etc. Test seating in Class room: This will include allocation of students, invigilators and output required for notice boards.
